Perhaps you had best define "conservative" and "liberal-moderate"
for us. And work on those sigs & posting practices.

I was more willing to spend tax money to help others in my high school and
college days.

While those pesky liberals were spending their tax dollars to
provide you with an education. Was it a liberal one?

This was true even a decade or more after college. I believe
this would peg me as socially liberal. Maybe even somewhat fiscally
liberal.

As opposed to an outright ban on non-church education?

I am very unwilling to throw tax money at programs which are or become
entitlements now.

Like public education?

I feel like I have done my part and the programs are
corrupt at worst and just terribly mismanaged at best these days.

Which programs, in your opine? Why?
What's your *better* idea?

This
would put me on the other side of middle of the road but still in the
penumbra of moderate.

Not knowing any specifics .. how can you say that?

So, while still a moderate, I am further right than I used to be.

Most old folks are. The world changes.
